Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is scheduled to return to Magic Kingdom on Nov. 8, with Disney making several changes for the 2026 event season. The separately ticketed holiday event runs on select nights through Dec. 22.
Ticket prices begin at $189 per person before tax, up from a $169 starting price reported for 2025. The highest listed price remains $229 before tax. Disney offers reduced prices for children ages 3 through 9, while eligible Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members can receive limited discounts.
Guests planning to meet Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet will find them in a new place: Storybook Circus. The group had previously met near The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh in Fantasyland.
Tomorrowland is also getting a new dance party. Disney Jr. Jingle Jam, previously held at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café, is not on the announced 2026 lineup. It is being replaced by Stitchmas!, a Christmas dance party featuring Lilo and Stitch in the same area.
Planning Your Trip
Undercover Tourist is an authorized seller of Orlando theme park tickets, often at a discount off gate price.
Some older holiday offerings remain absent. Cinderella Castle Dream Lights has not returned; Magic Kingdom instead presents Frozen Holiday Surprise, with Elsa and other characters plus festive projections. The former holiday trolley entertainment and standalone toy-soldier marching-band performances also remain discontinued, although the toy soldiers continue to appear in Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade.
The party will still include the Christmas parade, Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks and other holiday entertainment. Disney Fanatic reported that, as of Nov. 5, only Dec. 10, 11, 13, 15 and 17 remained available, with those adult tickets priced from $219 to $229 before tax. Disney cautions that individual party dates can sell out.
